The greatest gift a father can give his daughter is to show her by example, how a man is supposed to treat a woman; she will see this with her mother, a stranger on the street and everyone in between.
She will experience herself, what it's like to feel like the most important girl in the world.
Her father has the responsibility of setting the standard of what "his daughter" will forever call acceptable by any man that comes into her life, in any way.
A man who has a daughter, or son, is being a good father when he is walking down the street by "himself" and he grabs an older woman by the arm and makes her smile as he helps her cross the street.
I am both proud and relieved to be judged by my kids; proud because of who they've become and relieved because I've removed the need to worry about their decisions before they were even born.
